Even with mediocre summer weather, it is possible to enjoy outdoor activities with milder temperatures. Particularly if the rain stays away as it did today!

This afternoon I had the privilege of strolling around the Vondelpark, enjoying the sites and getting some lunch. It wasn't as busy as usual, though the same eclectic mix of bikers, joggers, and leash-less dogs were there.

If you're coming from outside Amsterdam it's easy to get to the Vondelpark. Just head to the Central Station and then take tram 1, 2, or 5. To keep it simple you can get off in Leidseplein and the main entrance to the park is about a five minute walk from there. Highly recommended at any time of year! (photo taken with Instagram)
